Since the previous sentence refers to letters of credit and since the consequence of the "défaillances" is deferment of the unloading jusqu’à ce que toutes les lettres de crédit soient ouvertes, I believe this is about failing to provide the credit rather than about breach of contract in general.

: A "défaillance" is more general than "breach" or "non performance". "Default", here "another Purchaser's defaults", is more accurate.
